Creative ZiiSound D5 Speaker System

 

Creative's ZiiSound D5 isn't your average compact speaker system.

Creative isn't targeting the budget-constrained with the ZiiSound D5 - its £279.99 price tag makes that clear. It's not hard to see what that money is buying though. The ZiiSound D5's Bluetooth connectivity is well-implemented and it both looks and...

Creative ZiiSound D5 review

 

It's got some sonic flaws, but we think this iPod dock system is a great way to utilise Bluetooth technology effectively

Substantial sound ; bass weight ; timing ; wireless functionality

Midrange has an unnatural edge

Overall, a successful attempt to produce a high-fidelity, wireless iPod speaker dock

Can you have quality sound in a Bluetooth iPod dock?

Solid Bluetooth connection ; Very impressive sound ; Sleek and stylish

Not great at shaping the sound

A quality device that combines solid Bluetooth and superb audio

Review: Creative ZiiSound D5 bluetooth wireless speaker system

 

Slim, stylish design, Solid build, Clean and tidy, just a power cable, Easy to use, Bluetooth (up to 30 feet) and aux jack for audio connectivity

Priced relatively high end, Dock functions as power source only not music connection, Laggy bluetooth control, Distorting audio quality with deep bass

Frankly speaking, the Creative ZiiSound D5 is no Harman Kardon, but its stylish looks will prove to be significant to many. Majority of iPod and iPhone bluetooth docking systems will have anticipated problems as we have briefly highlighted in this...

Creative Labs ZiiSound D5 review: Creative Labs ZiiSound D5

 

Creative Labs ZiiSound D5

Speaker bar with integrated Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming; compact design ideal for shelf placement; optimized Bluetooth dongle included for iPods and iPhone.

Cloth covering is susceptible to fraying; fairly pricey.

Though the price of the Creative ZiiSound D5 Bluetooth speaker is a bit steep, its simple, attractive design and decent sound make it recommendable.

Creative ZiiSound D5

 

At $300, the slick Creative ZiiSound D5 seems a bit overpriced, but what you miss in hi-fi audio performance, you gain in wireless capabilities.

Quality wireless audio. Simple, visually pleasing design. Bluetooth dongle lets the iPod becomes its own remote control. Works through walls.

Speakers can't handle deep bass at high volumes. Bluetooth audio signal can be weak—range must stay within roughly 30 feet. When docked, iPod still uses Bluetooth instead of direct connection for audio.

Creative ZiiSound D5 - Style Unlimited

 

Check out this iPod dock/Bluetooth speaker hybrid.

This is a really good Bluetooth speaker, but is way too expensive at Rs. 17,999. Sure, it sounds good, but it's bass heavy and distorts at high volume. It looks great, but has a cloth-covered front which could easily tear or gather dust. But the D5...
